    The Last 8%: How Tough Conversations Define Leadership

    Today, I’m joined by Bill Benjamin, partner at the Institute for Health and Human Potential, a speaker, author, and expert in emotional intelligence and leadership under pressure. With a background in mathematics and computer science, Bill’s journey into the world of leadership and communication began when he realized that technical excellence doesn’t automatically translate into people leadership. In this episode, we explore the concept of the “Last 8%”—the critical, often avoided moments in tough conversations that define relationships, trust, and leadership effectiveness. Bill shares brain-based strategies for emotional self-regulation, why so many leaders either avoid or overreact in difficult conversations, and how the SOS framework—Stop, Oxygenate, Seek information—can help anyone communicate more skillfully under pressure. This episode is filled with practical insights for anyone who wants to lead with courage, communicate with clarity, and build a culture of honest dialogue. Let’s dive in.

    Listening in Layers

    Today, I’m joined by Dr. Camille Preston, a business psychologist, executive coach, and founder of AIM Leadership. Camille has spent the past two decades helping leaders and organizations navigate complexity with clarity, presence, and purpose. She’s the author of several books, including her latest, Living Real, which explores how to redefine success, presence, and happiness.   In this episode, we discuss what it means to communicate with depth, how energy and presence shape your message, and why truly great communicators listen in layers. Camille shares insights from her work with executive teams, including the dangers of “rage-based leadership,” the thinning of workplace relationships, and the importance of creating space for authentic conversations. Whether you’re coaching leaders, managing teams, or working to deepen your impact, you’ll walk away with thoughtful strategies for becoming a more grounded and effective communicator. Let’s dive in.
